In a four-hour session with nearly 40 people in attendance, the Crawford County Commission discussed extending the moratorium on green energy development in the county.
EDF Project Developer Alan Blaesser and Community Engagement Manager Leif Clark spoke directly to the commission expressing their company’s concerns about a 12-month extension, saying that such an action would be a serious threat to the project. In May, EDF asked to be excluded from the moratorium but were denied. As it stands now, according to Clark, the company is extremely concerned about a long extension. EDF has already spent millions of dollars in developing the project and cannot afford to invest in what Clark called an “ambiguous community.”
